Hunger Action Month

September is Hunger Action Month. A group called Three Square is the valley’s food hub; a central location where donated and rescued food can be collected and distributed. We provide bakery, produce, dairy, non-perishable products and ready-to-eat meals to non-profit and faith-based organizations. We also facilitate childhood and senior nutrition programs. We are a place for members of the community to meet, serve and collaborate as part of the food solution. (Taken from the Three Square Website.)Three square decided to put on a event called Restaurant Week. Many of Vegas's local restaurants participated in this by creating menu's at a fixed price and having the proceeds go to Three Square.

My boss Juliet and I decided to take part in this and we went to Michael Mina inside the Bellagio. The restaurant was nice and the food was yummy!

A few calories lost

This commercial has me and Antwone dying of laughter every time we see it! One day we even rewinded it (thanks to DVR) several times. Yes, we are loco!
